+Subject: [PATCH] target: Explicitly clear ramdisk_mcp backend pages
+
+[Note that a different patch to address the same issue went in during
+v3.15-rc1 (commit 4442dc8a), but includes a bunch of other changes that
+don't strictly apply to fixing the bug]
+
+This patch changes rd_allocate_sgl_table() to explicitly clear
+ramdisk_mcp backend memory pages by passing __GFP_ZERO into
+alloc_pages().
+
+This addresses a potential security issue where reading from a
+ramdisk_mcp could return sensitive information, and follows what
+>= v3.15 does to explicitly clear ramdisk_mcp memory at backend
+device initialization time.
+
+This fixes CVE-2014-4027
+Upstream-Status: Backport
